Racism in the Supreme Court
In the death penalty case McCleskey v. Kemp, Justice Scalia wrote a memorandum to the other justices saying that he did not need additional proof that racism motivated the jurors to impose the death penalty. He also said that knowing that racism motivated the jurors and, thus, prosecutorial discretion, should not require reversal of the sentence. This logic trivializes the harmful impact of racism in criminal law and enforcement. See https://t.co/EOKb95nG4U

@Bmbempower He is the only one I know who made a public statement admitting the error. Sad because a lot of these folks are also academics. Intellectual honesty should compel similar statements. @esglaude
